I am pleased to announce the third Kimocoin auction. This time we are auctioning a new Toshiba 60GB SSD. The capacity is lower than our last SSD, but the specs are top of the line. I hope the lower capacity will bring the price within reach of more users. Toshiba 60GB 2.5" SSD SATA III 6 Gb/s MLC Model: THNSNH060GCST4PAGB Read speed: 534 MB/s  Write speed: 450 MB/s Lithography: 19 nm This a KMC only auction with free worldwide shipping. Bidding starts at 10M KMC and ends on 7/21 at 4:00 AM GMT. Who will place the first bid of 10M KMC? |

I have updated the logo on the OP, website, faucet, and P2Pools. Our next version of the wallet will have the new logo as well. If you find our old logo anywhere, please ask the site to update it. I can provide PNG's of any size by request, or you can use this vector grapic to make them yourself: http://www.kimocoin.com/img/kimocoin.svg(it makes for much sharper images than resizing a raster graphic) 27 Faucets sent in the last 24H, WOW! If you have not yet updated your wallet after the 7/14 hard fork, you must download the updated wallet. The old wallet will not work.http://faucet.kimocoin.com/downloads/KimoCoin_Win32.zip |

It is sad that qt-wallet do not have (?) message function where "system" can push some "alarm" type notification to wallett window so that user is forced to get (what ever important system information) information without user self active seeking and finding this info from some forum.
The wallet does have such a feature, but there is a public key encoded in the wallet for verifying the messages. The public key is the same as Vertcoin which Kimocoin was originally forked from. We do not have the private key so we cannot send the messages. I will study it, maybe we can update it for the KIMO release. It would be a nice way to make announcements, but unfortunately we cannot use it to announce the fork. |

- Voting for the new logo is over. The winner is BitDesign. Thank you to everyone who participated, especially MoneroMoo and Didux for their logo contributions. It was a really close contest--they're all great logos, but I need to start the integration work.
- Next week I will release the KIMO beta wallet with the new logo, the symbol change (KMC -> KIMO), and decimal change (1000 KMC = 1 KIMO). The KMC and KIMO wallets are 100% compatible, so we can user test the new wallet for a few days before asking Comkort and the pools to change. I want to make sure everyone has updated from the fork before we begin the transition to KIMO.
- We'll be holding another auction this week, maybe another SSD. First we must wait for Comkort to resume deposits and withdrawals (they suspended it per my request due to the hard fork).
- If you have not yet updated your wallet after the 7/14 hard fork, you must download the updated wallet. The old wallet will not work.

This old chinese topic need immediately stop and do new or some other solution. I can not do it.
Chinese participation is really good for coins. They have 30% of earth's population and rising wealth. It's unfortunate that we cannot communicate well with their community. What we really need is a Chinese ANN thread. Can anyone find a translation service? I would pay a small fee and write something up, but we need a strong translation by a native speaker. |

I'm going to sleep now, so I will post some troubleshooting instructions in case anyone has trouble syncing the new wallet.
1. Go to your Kimocoin appdata folder > C:\Users\Jacob\AppData\Roaming\KimoCoin
2. Make a backup copy of wallet.dat (optional, but a good idea)
3. Delete chainstate, blocks, database, and peers.dat
4. Then open up cmd, then go to your kimocoin-qt.exe directory, like mine is C:\Users\Jacob\Downloads
5. Type kimocoin-qt.exe -rescan
6. Add some nodes to get connected:
Help > Debug > Console
addnode kimocoin.com add
addnode p2pool-eu.kimocoin.com add
addnode kmc.1js.us add
addnode dice.kimocoin.com add
7. It will resync and re-download all the blocks and update the chainstate
These instructions are only if you have trouble, it should sync without this.

the chain data need sync again?
Leave it open for a while, I don't think it will need to sync the entire chain. Let me know how it goes. |

The new windows wallet binary is ready:
http://faucet.kimocoin.com/downloads/KimoCoin_Win32.zip
Please download it and delete the old one. This is an emergency mandatory update.We had a hard fork at block 150300 to fix the broken block reward. The old wallet will not work, please don't send any payments until you have updated the wallet. If anyone is using a Mac, please let me know.
|
|
|
|
The hard fork has occurred and the block reward is fixed.  If you are still using the old wallet, please close it. The new Windows binary will be available very soon. If you're mining on P2Pool and don't see any recent coins, don't worry--they're still there and will show up as soon as you open the updated wallet. |

mayby it's me who don't understand. I got all my kmc on comkort wallet, i don't have "desktop wallet". So on comkort i can't "uptade" the wallet. How should i proceed ?
If you don't have the desktop wallet, then you don't need to do anything. Don't worry about it.  |

Sorry for my poor communication. The change to KIMO is delayed for one week. Now we are doing a hard fork to fix the block reward, still KMC. After you download the new wallet, you may mine and trade as before. There is a mandatory update to the new wallet, there are no other changes.

This hard fork has nothing to do with the change to KIMO. The hard fork is because forgetme made a mistake with the block reward. In fact the change to KIMO has been postponed until the dust settles from the hard fork. All your coins at Comkort and anywhere else are safe, just don't use the wallet until you upgrade to the new one. I'm compiling a new one for windows now. Does any one use the Mac wallet?

Jacob019, minerd (vertcoin) need to be patched also, or not?
No need. The only thing you must do is download the new wallet, you may continue mining as normal. Please do not send any coins with the old wallet, it will not work after block 150300. All KMC services have been updated with the new wallet, I'm just waiting to hear back from the other pools and from Comkort. |
|
|

Seriously, what a stupid mistake. I have finished the changes. The patched source is available here: https://github.com/jacob019/kimocoinI have already updated the p2pool nodes kmc.1js.us and p2pool-eu.kimocoin.com, so you can continue mining as normal. The block explorer and faucet have been updated also. Comkort is aware of the update and is working to install the new wallet. If anyone knows how to compile for windows, please help. Otherwise, I will study it later tonight. |

Got some bad news. Forgetme made a mistake in the block reward code. After block 150000, the reward is < 1 KMC.  You can see his mistake here: https://github.com/jacob019/kimocoin/blob/bc81a83bd121d0620576da969a78f2c1533740bd/src/main.cpp*** line #1128, can you see it? He forgot to multiply by COIN, so the reward is in Kimotoshis, instead of KMC. :-( We're going to do an emergency hard fork at block 150300. I have contacted Comkort about it, and will update the pools and everything else. For all the community members, you will only need a new wallet. We're going to wait for the change to KIMO until after the emergency update. |

I think the denomination change seems like a good idea, though I have to admit I'm more than hazy about the consequences The main consequence would be BTC trading. Right now if you want to buy some KMC you first have to buy LTC, which makes it more difficult and ties our price to LTC. Our community is small enough that it should not be a major disruption. In fact KIMO and KMC would still be compatible, if you send 1 KIMO to a KMC wallet, 1000 KMC will show up. If you send 1000 KMC to a KIMO wallet, 1 KIMO will show up. If you have 1M KMC in your wallet, and you upgrade to the KIMO wallet, you will see 1K KIMO. The new wallet just moves the decimal left. What other consequences are you unsure or concerned about? |

if the coin is divided by 1000 the block reward should be 1000 times lower then to compensate.
Yes, of course--that's automatic. In fact, I'm testing the new wallet right now and you can mine on the existing pools without modification and the coins show up /1000. The pool might show 60000 KMC, but when you get coins with the new wallet there are only 60 KIMO. When the new wallet is released, I'll update p2pool, the block explorer, the faucet, etc to reflect the symbol and decimal change. |

P.S: On p2pool, "Current block value" are not real.
I don't see any problems. Block reward is 60k. On p2pool each block is split among all the miners, but the total for each block is correct, 60k.  Am I missing something? |

I want give my vote moneromoo logo.
Thanks for your vote. This sounds good specially IF think that KMC value to other coins do not rise... do we want give this prognose. Is it realistic to think that it do not rise (enough)? Mining profit is going as low as 5000KMC (5 KIMO)
But, as also you have previously told some arguments about exchanges I will notice this. Do not keep hurry to other exchanges too early.
Our price would have to rise over 10x in order to be traded in BTC, and even then it would only be 1 satoshi, so it would have to go up 100% more to reach 2 satoshi. A currency needs to be easily exchanged. Now our price is tied to LTC, which is falling, and we are relegated to obscurity. BTC is king. I really think moving the decimal would make us stronger, we would be trading at about 83 Satoshis, and nothing would stop us from going higher. I don't see any downsides. Change the currency unit is not a good idea.In this present KMC attractive, large amount of money is a good thing.
Application is the most important of the electronic coin.So Dev should develop new application as soon as possible or attract more sites receiving KMC, even the adult website.
We would still have a larger amount of money than most coins. I understand your concern about such a change, it's a big move. In this case it seems the benefits greatly outweigh any negatives. As for new applications and adult websites, it's up to all of us to push Kimocoin into the future. You can contribute too and if I can offer any support please PM me. Any other thoughts, concerns, support or opposition for changing KMC to KIMO and moving the decimal left? Still need logo votes. |
